Michael Avenatti was convicted Friday of cheating porn actor Stormy Daniels out of nearly $300,000 she was supposed to get for writing a book about an alleged tryst with former President Donald Trump.
Avenatti, who acted as his own lawyer, stared straight ahead as the guilty verdicts on wire fraud and aggravated identity theft were returned.
Just a few hours earlier, a mistrial had appeared possible when the jury foreperson complained that a juror was acting on “emotions” rather than evidence.
It was another defeat for the California lawyer, who has faced legal problems after briefly rising to fame as one of Trump’s leading antagonists on cable news.
“I’m very disappointed in the jury’s verdict,” Avenatti told reporters outside the federal courtroom in New York. “I’m looking forward to a full adjudication of all the issues on appeal.”
Judge Jesse M. Furman ordered Avenatti to surrender Monday to U.S. marshals in California. Avenatti has delayed serving a 2 1/2-year prison sentence for his 2020 conviction in an extortion case while waiting for the book trial and the retrial of a fraud case in a California federal court.
You know that you’re a real scumbag when today’s judicial system convicts a democrat scumbag.
I can’t help having a little sympathy for Daniels. And I can’t help hoping Avenatti bleeds anally for the rest of his life after he gets passed around like the bitch he is in prison.
Not fair; she worked her ass off for that money.
Arrogant little man undone by a pole dancer. Priceless.
It’s hard to believe the jury would convict someone so…likable.
The video going around of the MSM sycophants slobbering all over the asshole is comedy gold.
Stephanie Ruhle and the cunts on the View are especially priceless!
He figured everyone else has screwed Stormy Daniels, I might as well do it too.
As well-known as is POTUS Trump’s aversion to germs, I would be very shocked if he had a “tryst” with a prostitute. And I rather doubt he’s ever stepped out on the lovely Melania.
TRUMP WON!!!!
She broke the 1st rule of Whoring.
Never rat out Your client.
It Totally ruins you client base & repeat business.
Avenatti will eventually need to be re-cored.
A five pound ham by Thanksgiving should do the trick…
Accused my ass. The Creepy Porn Lawyer has been convicted.
Love all the responses. That’s why I love this site.
Pardon me for pointing out that the Creepy Porn Lawyer had an incompetent Shyster for a client when he decided to represent himself in the Not So Mysterious Case of the Crooked Lawyer Who Cheated the Lying Whore. Hard to believe that he was ever seriously considered as a legal advocate for some crazy woman who claimed she was repeatedly raped by Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
She’ll have to do 130,000 BJs to make up for it.
It ain’t over till our crooked DOJ steps up and has it’s say.
aleon = wannabe con artist full time idiot. Marco, what? you moron why did Trump pay her hush money then. It’s a known fact Jack!
